Required Textbooks and materials

No books, just your brains, in perfect working order.

ATTENDANCE AND LATENESS POLICY

Because we only meet for 90 minutes once per week, attendance at all meetings is mandatory. Each absence will result in a penalty to your participation grade. Being absent is designated as not showing up for class, showing up after roll has been called, or leaving class while class is still in session without permission.?

?

You are responsible for what you miss

If you are late or absent, you are still responsible for any material you missed including assignments.? Your first recourse should be to get notes from a fellow student.? If you still have any questions about what was covered and how in-class work can be made up, contact your professor as soon as possible. ?Please be aware that certain in-class assignments cannot properly be made up if missed.? Missing such assignments will affect your grade.

?

Advance Notice

If you know in advance that you will be absent, please let me know in advance.? Advance notice tells me you care and predisposes me to help you with what you missed.

?

Emergencies and Documentation:

If you missed a class due to a true personal or family emergency, contact me as soon as possible.? If verifying documentation is supplied and authenticated, this type of absence may (not will) be excused from affecting your grade.

?

EMAIL

Email is the primary means of communication between the professor and the students enrolled in the course outside of class time.? Students should be sure their email listed under ?demographic information? in the campus connect system is current and correct.

?

D2L

Written Assignments should be submitted online via D2L by the deadline stated on the D2L dropbox. ?Other pertinent documents and information may be posted on D2L throughout the quarter.?

?

ASSIGNMENTS

Reasonable deadlines are given for completion for each assignment.? Consequently, late assignments will not be accepted without prior consent of the instructor. If late work is accepted, it will be marked down.

?

Content & Scheduling Changes

Depending on time factors, the assignments projected for the term (and therefore the grading scale) may require alteration or rescheduling.? Students will be notified of any changes and should follow the most recent schedule or deadline provided.

?

Food Policy:

Food is NOT allowed in the classroom.? A water bottle or beverage is ok but please keep a lid on it to avoid spills.

?

Class Discussion: Student participation in class discussions will be measured in two ways.? First, students are highly encouraged to ask questions and offer comments relevant to the day?s topic.? Participation allows the instructor to ?hear? the student?s voice when grading papers.?

?

Attitude: A professional and academic attitude is expected throughout this course.? Measurable examples of non-academic or unprofessional attitude include but are not limited to: talking to others when the instructor is speaking, mocking another?s opinion, cell phones ringing, emailing, texting or using the internet whether on a phone or computer.? If any issues arise a student may be asked to leave the classroom.? The professor will work with the Dean of Students Office to navigate such student issues.

?

Civil Discourse: DePaul University is a community that thrives on open discourse that challenges students, both intellectually and personally, to be Socially Responsible Leaders.? It is the expectation that all dialogue in this course is civil and respectful of the dignity of each student.? Any instances of disrespect or hostility can jeopardize a student?s ability to be successful in the course.? The professor will partner with the Dean of Students Office to assist in managing such issues.

?

Cell Phones/On Call:? If you bring a cell phone to class, it must be off or set to a silent mode. Should you need to answer a call during class, students must leave the room in an undisruptive manner. Out of respect to fellow students and the professor, texting is never allowable in class. If you are required to be on call as part of your job, please advise me at the start of the course.

Changes to Syllabus

This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter.? If a change occurs, it will be thoroughly addressed during class, posted under Announcements in D2L and sent via email.

Online Course Evaluations

Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely separate from the student?s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation. Students complete the evaluation online in?CampusConnect.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
